Before the forest found her, Rachel knew only fear. Trapped in a life marked by control and cruelty, she escaped into the wilderness with nothing but her will to survive. She thought she was running from a man - but the truth waiting beneath the trees was far older, and far more powerful. In the deep woods ruled by silence and shadow, she meets Jackson, a man burdened by his own ghosts and the wild blood that ties him to the land. He sees the strength she's forgotten, the fire beneath her scars. Yet the closer they draw to one another, the more the forest begins to stir - as if awakening to a secret it has long kept buried. As the boundaries between human and wolf blur, Rachel must face not only the darkness around her but the one that has always lived inside her. And Jackson must decide whether love can truly heal what violence once broke. Together they confront a past written in blood, a present forged in trust, and a future the forest itself will bear witness to. Years later, with the scars of war behind them and a child's laughter filling the air, peace finally settles over the land. But the moon still rises - bright, watchful, remembering. Because some bonds are eternal. And some hearts are forever bound by moonlight.

Haunted by scars she didn't deserve and rules that kept her silent, Lena Carter learned long ago that trust was dangerous - especially with men. Her stepfather's control left her cautious, wary, and convinced that love was just another form of pain. Until she met Rowan Hale - the quiet, powerful Alpha who smelled of rain and pine and carried an unspoken promise in his eyes. What began as wary glances across school halls turned into something far deeper when Rowan's wolf whispered the truth: she was his mate. But destiny didn't erase fear - and it couldn't protect them from the darkness still chasing her. As Lena fights to reclaim her life, Rowan must protect the woman his soul is bound to - even when she pushes him away, even when her past rises again with teeth and claws. From fear to freedom, from brokenness to belonging, theirs is a story of healing, loyalty, and the wild kind of love that can only exist under the same moon.
